Report: Nationals Owner Says They've 'Moved On' From Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner suggested that his club has moved on from its pursuit of star outfielder Bryce Harper, according to NBC Sports Washington's Lisa Redmond.

"Nothing's really changed on our end," Lerner said. "We've moved on. As I said back then and we had to. There was no way we could wait around. Bryce, I'm sure will make his decision hopefully in the next few days, but we've filled out our roster and like I said, we wish him nothing but the best."

Harper has spent each of his first seven seasons in the majors with Washington and earned All-Star honors in six.
